Friday’s Child

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

“Friday’s child is loving and giving.” Children born on a Friday are thought to be affable, loving, and generous. I think this can also mean that any abandoned kitten that is trapped on Friday is also loving and giving, don’t ya think that outta be right too?

You see, my our nonprofit that Mom L and Dad P manage, Delta View Cats, has incredible volunteers. We do lots of things to try and help humanely manage our city of Pittsburg’s overpopulation of abandoned community cats. We feed about fifty kitties all around our marina and waterfront park. Now this park had a colon of cats numbering about thirty-five in 2017. We have worked to get friendly kitties adopted and now the colony stabilized in 2019 to twelve adult cats. Since 2017 to Spring 2021, no cats nor kittens were abandoned at this park. It was a common dumping ground for over ten years, since about 2005.

Unfortunately, from Spring of 2021 to now, October, 2022, Delta View Cats volunteer colony caretakers/feeders have found forty dumped kittens at this park!!

We feed once a day at this park and our Friday colony caretakers went early before feeding time, intent on trapping this little kitten that was sighted about eight days before. They found she was sleeping in one of our shelters and plotted to catch her on her exit in the early morning using a fishing net!! SUCCESS!!!! Miss Elaine and Mr. Bobby feed on Friday’s so they named this little three pound two ounce girl “Friday”!!

She was skinny and her long furrs were matted and dirty. And boy was she hissy at first. She tried to climb outta her cage and she huddled in a corner.

She met a buddy at station three feeder, Hercules, and he must’a showed her how to survive in this park with raccoons, owls and unkind loose dogs. Miss Elaine and Mr Bobby volunteered to foster little Friday, whom they named after the day of the week that they always feed and it is also the day they were finally successful in snagging her!! YAY FOR FRIDAY!!

She got over being hissy really quickly and Mom L just had to go visit and hold her.

You can see her furrs are not groomed and she has had a weepy eye so she is getting treated with eye drops our retired DVM pal Doc Josie ordered. And she loves to be brushed and groomed and takes her eye med just fine. She is getting dewormed and will soon be weighing in at four pounds!!! WOO HOO!!!

Isn’t she just gorgeous!! Did you notice her incredible white LONG whiskers!

Friday will soon be ready for adoption so please will all my pals share her story on your own social media, ESPECIALLY if you have family and friends living in the San Francisco bay area. If anyone is interested, you can contact Mom L at this email address: infopdvc at gmail dot com.

Friday Memes for Friday Smiles

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

My memes are pretty fun, even if I do say so myself. And in case you are wondering about the one with my new adopted brofur, The Domino Kid, I suggest you keep an eye out for Amazon packaged being delivered to your door. Heh, heh, heh!!!

Next up is our former foster Buddy. He is having a bit of a snit with his Humom’s choice of cones to protect him from scratching his recent surgery. Do ya really think Big Buddy is gonna tolerate this cone? Let me know in comments!! MOL!!!

And I am sure you can all appreciate what I am going through having to bring along yet another stoopy juvenile into my Castle Guard. As if he can take guarding me seriously! Sigh—but KK so enjoys playing with him all over the castle, I simply must find a way to endure his presence.

But, if he gives me many more stink eyes, he is so gonna feel my dragon breath hisses!!!

Isn’t she lovely?

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

This is all about my incredible sisfur, Katie aka KK aka Kai-Kai. KK is such a doll!! She is still very afraid of all people, including Mom L and sometimes Dad P. But KK has developed over four years a bond with Dad P and every night she allows him to stroke her furs, brush her and spends time letting him get close. Mom L can sometimes brush and pet KK, and in the cooler months, KK even will sleep between Mom L’s or Dad P’s legs. We never thought that Katie would come as far as she has in trusting all of us to keep her safe and loved. We tried to help her find her purrfect furrever home for almost two years. And then, we decided no one will ever love her and care for her as much as all of us. Katie is OUR girl—”Isn’t she lovely?”

Stevie Wonder wrote these great lyrics. And we believe that they fit our sweetie pie Katie

Isn’t she lovelyIsn’t she wonderfulIsn’t she precious

That’s KK trying to wind me over and she sure did! Our Katie is just the bestest thing to ever happen in my castle. And now look at her! And yes, she has a bit of a crooked smile. She had stomatitis and finally we had to have all her toofies removed. Nonetheless, KK is such doll!

Katie did a little photo shoot with Mom L recently. It was hard ‘cuz KK would not leave that sun puddle alone!! So Mom L had to try to grab photos without all that bright sun streaming through the blinds behind her.

Katie’s eye are green like mine. But a soft sort’a jade green. Not as brilliant as mine, but oh so lovely!!

Our Katie is now playing like a champ with our former foster The Domino Kid. Domino is now a ‘foster fail” and will live forever here in my castle! He and KK are so much fun to watch as they rip around our two story townhome! And KK lets Domie know when he is being too pushy and she gives him her best hiss, snarl and even a paw whack when needed!!!
